a.c. reed - i'm in the wrong business lyrics

Loading...

i’m in the wrong business, swear, i ain’t lyin’
because i’m hungry, broke all the time
that’s why i’m giving up my saxophone
i’ma leave these blues alone, oh baby

should’ve been a boxer, made that movie rocky iii
i would be a star like sylvester and mr. t
should’ve been like michael jackson when i was the age of five
but i choose this saxophone, now i’m broke and i can’t survive

i’m in the wrong business, swear, i ain’t lyin’
’cause i stay hungry, broke all the time
that’s why i’m giving up my saxophone
i’ma leave these blues alone, oh baby

these guitar preachers make my blood pressure go up
i’d be better off if i was driving a trailer truck
like boxcar willie, i tell you these blues done made me a bum
now, i’ma quit this music, lord, and i’m going back on the farm

in the wrong business, swear, i ain’t lyin’
’cause i stay hungry, broke all the time
that’s why i’m giving up my saxophone
i’ma leave these blues alone, alone, baby

i hate this music and i’m full up to my neck
if i keep on playing, i tell you i’ll do like johnny paycheck
he shoved his job, and, now, he got money for years
i’ma shove my saxophone, because i don’t have a job to shove
i’m in the wrong business, swear, i ain’t lyin’
’cause i stay hungry, broke all the time
that’s why i’m giving up my saxophone
i’ma leave these blues alone, alone, baby

played forty years and now i can see what’s holding me back
i gotta ride this cadillac, man, …
people praying against me, i tell you, i don’t think that’s being fair
best blues saxophonist, and, lord, i’m not even with halfway there

i’m in the wrong business, i’m in the wrong business
i’m in the wrong business, i’m in the wrong business
i’m in the wrong business, i’m in the wrong business
